"Oh my gosh, no wonder the invitations are so hard to come by! Who wouldn't want to be there? I'm so jealous of you, Queena!"
Queena wore a magnanimous smile. "Just keep working hard, and you'll all have opportunities like this in the future."
Then she turned to Anastasia and said, "Helen can be blunt, so don't take it to heart. But if you need anything, you can ask me for help. I hear Mr. Austin is a recluse and very hard to meet. How about I get his autograph for you?"
Anastasia's expression turned strange.
Bruno's autograph?
She gave Queena a long look and said coolly, "That won't be necessary. I don't need it."
She had business to attend to today and couldn't be bothered to waste any more time here. With that, she walked away.
She faintly heard someone behind her defending Queena. "Queena, you're so good to your sister, but she doesn't even appreciate it. She clearly doesn't see you as family."
"She must be jealous because she heard you're going to the gathering and she's not qualified to receive an invitation..."
Anastasia let out a quiet scoff.
The next day.
The gathering was in the afternoon. Anastasia had planned to go with Bruno, but she was unexpectedly delayed. She had to call him, get the address, and let him know she would be coming separately.
Meanwhile, unlike Anastasia, Queena and George had arrived early, taking the event very seriously.
"I pulled a lot of strings to get you this invitation. Mr. Austin, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Reed will all be here today. You must be on your best behavior and try to catch their eye."
"If you can win their favor, your future will be smooth sailing!"
